Automatic

[M98][V2
] MIDUSS does work in Automatic Mode.

Recent updates of
Windows XP and 2000 (March 2004) have introduced
security systems which may cause the database creation module
(in the Automatic Command) to fail in MIDUSS. We
determined that programs compiled with Visual Basic 4 and
including DAO (Data Access Objects) components will not work
with these recent updates of XP or 2000. We were forced to
rebuild MIDUSS Version 2 with a new programming compiler
(Visual Basic 5). This changes a large proportion of the
MIDUSS program support files.

As a result of this bug a new version of MIDUSS has been
released. This release is 2.01 Rev319 dated April 6,
2004.

If you have an earlier release of Version 2 you will need
to completely uninstall your current MIDUSS Version 2 from
your PC. Then use release 2.01Rev319 to reinstall it. Your
current License Serial Number will still work and you will not
lose any MIDUSS data files that you may have created.

For MIDUSS 98 users we are currently working on a patch
that will get past the problem the Windows XP or 2000 updates
have created. As of April 6, 2004 we have not been able
to so yet. Please watch this web site for progress
updates.

Automatic mode allows
you to complete a design over two or more sessions. Perhaps
more importantly, Automatic mode allows you to subject a
previously designed system to more severe storm without
requiring you to re-enter all of the commands and data.

MIDUSS converts the
output file (from a previous session and now an input file)
into a database that makes it possible to see and edit the
contents of the input file. This makes it much more convenient
to follow the sequence of commands and also to take action if
some of the data requires editing.
